Don't let your potential go to waste. Good psychotherapy can change your life for the better.

“Welcome to the journey of psychotherapy where collaboratively I hope to help you figure out how to become more fulfilled, relieve anxiety, or help you resolve issues that have been coming up in your marriage, partnership, or friendships. The journey is not always easy or a clear path, but I believe that everyone that starts it is better off for having started it. To me the benefits are in the fact that you are willing to look at yourself introspectively and try to figure out how to become the best version of yourself you can be.

“Jamie's practice encompasses a general framework on psychological principles impacted by societal variables such as gender, sexual orientation and experience with trauma. Attention is placed on the original family system in which clients were raised. Jamie works in an interactive style that underscores the cooperative nature of working as a team. He is also forthright and challenging in the therapeutic interaction. Counseling can be accommodated on a short or long term basis.

“I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 10 years of experience treating adolescents and adults. I have a specialty in addressing emotional issues related to infertility, assisted reproductive technologies, and adoption. My approach to psychotherapy is warm, empathic, and compassionate. I treat each individual professionally and with respect, and with acknowledgement of your individual strengths. I listen attentively to your thoughts and feelings, while also focusing on factors that are out of your conscious awareness (such as anxieties, values, and expectations) that can get expressed in relationships or through problematic patterns or symptoms.

Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, depression or other unpleasant emotions? If so, I invite you to visit my website to how we may work together. Whatever your goals are for therapy, I work from a place of truly caring about who you are and what you want.

“You want help feeling better or making tough decisions. You may feel anxiety or depression: overwhelmed, or convinced that everyone else is doing better. I give you tools to create more ease, focus, and meaning in your life.

“As a psychotherapist with 25+ years of experience I offer clients compassionate informed assistance in identifying obstacles to happiness and emotional well-being. Using an eclectic approach of exploration, support, self-observation and education we can work together towards growth and change. While some may view therapy as a luxury or a last-resort intervention, choosing to engage in therapy is a proactive strategy to address obstacles to optimal functioning and well-being. Different than relying on a friend, a therapist is a professional who can guide you in the investigation of these obstacles with an effective evidence based approach.

“There are many great scenes in 'The Devil Wears Prada' where the boss-from-hell doesn't know her assistant's name, never says hello or acknowledges her. While this is an entertainment film, exaggerated for comedic value, poor relationship interactions like this happen every day in the workplace. Maybe you find yourself regularly thinking: "I don't like my boss", "My difficult co-workers stress me out", "My co-workers don't like me", or "I don't get along with people at work" (to name a few).

“Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I work with people who are suffering with these symptoms and I have over ten years of experience treating depression, addictions, anxiety and eating disorders. I have a background in art and have a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at 2 Bay Area eating disorder centers, Mental Health Assessor for UCSF, teaching graduate psychology classes, crisis work for Mental Health Association of NYC and supervision of psychotherapy interns.

“Ask yourself: Do you often experience invalidation, or a lack of support from your environment? Do you find others often overemphasize your weaknesses and failures while minimizing your strengths? Do you experience anxiety, chronic worry? Do you find it difficult to belong/fit in? Do you struggle with finding your own potential? Do you find it difficult to put words to how you are feeling? If you find yourself answering yes to any of the above questions you are not alone.

“Is Anger Hurting You... And Your Loved Ones? Your anger isn't just hurting your relationships - It's hurting you. If you struggle with anger, you see how it damage your relationships with your family, friends, kids and your colleagues. You know the pain of people rejecting you or shying away because they fear your anger... or they're simply fed up with it. But your anger damages you in other ways; anger wears on your cardiovascular system, your immune system and can lead to serious health problems. Perhaps worst, it makes you feel embarrassed and disappointed in yourself.

“Personable, insightful, and skilled. I am San Francisco-based clinical psychologist with over ten years of counseling experience. After working at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, I now serve adult individuals, couples, and partners providing brief and longterm therapy in private practice. My therapeutic style can be described as active, interactive, supportive, occasionally witty, and sometimes challenging. In working with clients, my aim is to improve their ability to manage emotional distress and related psychological symptoms to provide lasting and meaningful change. This includes creating change that avoids an open-ended reliance on therapy. www.integrativecounseling.com

“I am dedicated to supporting your movement from psychological and physical patterns that may no longer serve you, toward embodying a fuller more creative self expression and satisfying life. These patterns and blocks were often formed in service of your unique coping and survival needs early in life, or as the result of trauma and/or oppression that may have occurred at any point along the way. Together we can begin to reclaim that which has been lost or forgotten, to reconnect to your inner wisdom and knowing, and to strengthen your ability to create the life you envision.

“Regardless of your suffering, there is a way through it and because we each have our own way of processing emotional wounds, I take an individualized approach to help you transform pain into healing. I specialize in addressing the psychological symptoms associated with chronic and terminal illness (e.g., cancer, neurological disorders, transplants, diabetes, auto-immune disease) for individuals, couples, and families. Through an integrated approach, my work is about healing the soul and finding light in the darkness despite facing life-threatening conditions afflicting the body, mind, heart, and spirit.

“Are you feeling stuck? Do you struggle with uncomfortable emotions or bodily sensations? Do you feel unsure about how to move forward with your life? Sometimes it takes a professional to help sort out what will be helpful for you. Together we can examine where the struggle lies, how ready you are to change, what the effective treatments are, and what role medications can play. If psychotherapy is a part of your treatment we can choose from various modalities to fit your needs including mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, behavioral strategies, exposure, and psychodynamic techniques.

“Choosing a life coach can seem like an overwhelming task at a time when life has already become challenging. Everything is running smoothly, then something throws you off balance- a new stage of life, career transition, unmet goals, or unmanageable stress levels. Some people need help getting organized or changing self-defeating patterns. Dr. Christina Villarreal offers professional support to help you reach your life goals at any stage. She provides personal and executive coaching including wellness and health management, emotional intelligence growth at work or in dating/relationships. She will collaborate with you to determine best-suited life goals.

“Psychotherapy is about change. My work is grounded in the belief that we have innate resources for happiness and ease that become concealed or underdeveloped. It is my role to help us understand your unique needs, history and challenges to help you realign with your strengths and wisdom; while uncovering what may be blocking these resources. Because this work is often challenging though satisfying, I tend to holding a safe and validating space to explore your issues.

“Don't let anxiety rule your life! I offer strength focused counseling and therapy for anxiety and relationship problems. As a therapist I am your compassionate ally in beating anxiety and moving toward the life you envision. The therapeutic process is an exciting way to open up your life to a fulfilling and authentic path. What are the conversations you have with yourself and how can they become healing and supportive? You will be amazed at what you can find out about yourself and the people in your life by engaging in therapy.

“Happy 2015! Do you find yourself repeating patterns that are causing anxiety, or depression, or problems with your partner? I can help you transforming unwanted patterns into healthy and productive behaviors. I have worked, in a variety of mental health settings, for the past 17 years, helping people to get unstuck and create more fulfilling lives. I support my clients in a warm and interactive environment that facilitates goal-setting, clarity and growth and ultimately success and well-being in life.

“If you're seeking help in dealing with overwhelming emotions, relationship difficulties or life choices, I'm glad you've found me. People I have worked with have struggled with bad feelings about themselves, have suffered from anxiety or a sense of emptiness, or have felt uncertain of their next steps. We will create the space for healing and find new avenues for growth and development. If this is what you're looking for and you feel we might connect, please get in touch. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation.
